I do not often fall for advertising, but this one is really a temptation...

Something that I'd like to hear more about...

Northrop Grumman's "Mission Extension Vehicle-1" (MEV-1) is getting closer to its target, Intelsat 901!

Excellent #spacedebris XKCD 😅

DLR Expert Manuel Metz delivers 🇩🇪statement on space debris at COPUOS #STSC: close approaches of 🛰️🛰️ often go unnoticed, collisions 💥 inevitable - hence need for further developing guidelines for debris mitigation. 👉 https://t.co/oEt18BLP7j @DLR_en @DLR_next @BMWi_Bund

Australian Aboriginal tribes have accurately recorded the story of the post-ice age rising of the seas between 7,000 - 10,000 years ago - all passed down orally.

Fires in Australia have burned 7.4M acres — an area about the size of Belgium. ▪️ At least 11 people killed ▪️ At least 1,000 homes destroyed ▪️ 100K people ordered to evacuate near Melbourne

Here is a map of all the fires burning in Australia. Here also is a map of Australia overlaid on Europe. #Bushfires #AustraliaFires #vicfires #nswbushfire #NSWfires

Marie Curie’s notebooks are still so radioactive that they must be kept in lead-lined boxes and will not be safe to handle for 1500 years.

Some #TuesdayMotivation 💪 Seeing the progress of our space debris removal satellite ELSA-d covered in gold MLI for the first time. She is really starting to look like a satellite ready for launch (and clearing the orbits!) #Astroscale2020

Oh oh.

Spreading the gospel of #space sustainability to the #fintech and #automotive industries. Thank you Tokyo Fintech and @Porsche Japan for having us (and for the model Boxster!) to share our mission of keeping Earth's orbits clean for future generations 🧹 🌏

TLE mean age is now down to 0.8 days old—the best level in over 5 years. Awesome!

Gestern war es eisig und sonnig, heute nass. Was wird das für ein Winter?

Black cats have become less popular as adopted pets, in part because they are seen as less Instagram-friendly than other cats.

Too true. Trying to validate a method on a static data set - call it 'sample' - is no proof for the method working on the entire 'population' (that is ever changing). Chosing a representative sample however requires very good understanding of the population. Statistics 101

there are insufficient benchmark data sets with which to evaluate scientific work so confirmation bias is built in to a great number of so-called scientific discoveries. shall I continue?

I have a suspicion that we'll see a lot more of these kinds of low thrust, long duration maneuvers. Could this have implications for various fields of SSA including tracking, cataloguing, association and conjunction predictions?

Great example of 'opinions' about the whereabouts of objects in space.
